HP has launched a new Mobile Authentication tool to help customers identify counterfeit cartridges more easily and conveniently. The HP Mobile Authentication tool features a QR code on both HP Original ink and toner cartridge security labels. Customers can simply scan the QR code on the security label to immediately confirm authenticity, or validate the label by entering the cartridge serial number at the HP Mobile Authentication website.
